The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé may not be the sharpest to drive in its class, but it is supremely quiet and comfortable

Trim:

The only trim option, but a very well equipped one. It features 19in alloy wheels, adaptive dampers, cruise control, LED headlights, DAB radio and Bluetooth. It's worth upgrading the infotainment system – albeit an expensive option – for the best experience.

Engine:

This 242bhp turbocharged petrol with standard nine-speed auto gearbox needs to be worked harder than the entry-level diesel. It doesn’t sound very good and doesn’t make for the refined, sports car feel that buyers will likely expect.
